Have More Fun
if what you are doing is not bringing you satisfaction, quit doing it! this goes for paying your bills(I do not mean quit paying your bills) or doing your laundry. How can you do what your doing and have fun in the process? Can you sing a song while you are doing the dishes? How about work-what do you love about your job? What can you find to love about your job? What makes you laugh? What brings you a smile to think about? If you are consistently complaining about some area of your life, how can you find the blessing in where you are? In order to do all of the above, you must give up the need to struggle and choose to create life according to what you want! Wouldn’t you rather make it fun than stressful? I certainly would!

If you need an excuse, buy a new toy, visit a friend with a game in your bag, go for a walk to daydream and call it exercise. Play! Even if it’s only in your own head. Come on, you know you’ll like it. Play!
